With drawings and paintings by N. C. Wyeth and his grandson, Jamie Wyeth, and an essay by Tom Brokaw, One Nation illustrates North Americas evolving definitions of patriot and pirate throughout this century.
This video is very close to being great, but I wish the producers would update it with N.C.Wyeth's pirate paintings, and Jamie Wyeth's new painting "Night Vision."I bought the video "Patriots and Pirates" because it seems to fit in with the theme of Liberty against the Law that my English composition classes was studying. The beginnings of liberty on sailing ships, the American Revolution, and the modern take on patriotism: all these appear in Howard Pyle, N.C.Wyeth, and Jamie Wyeth's work. Jamie Wyeth called this video "Pirates and Patriots," which seems to have more of a ring to it. Please make a new version with the pirates, to complete what was a great idea for a video.
The Two Greatest Wyeths

This book shows the comparison of grandfather (N.C) and grandson's (Jamie) work. An excellent study. I have always considerend N.C.'s work superior to any of the other Wyeths, Andrew specifically and in particular. This book pretty much affirms it. Check it out.

A book to please all senses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book offers many nostalgic moments. It is pure delight to rediscover N.C.Wyeth's posters. "One Nation" speaks to and illustrates various periods of the history of our nation through the outstanding work of James Wyeth and the great illustrations by his grandfather, N.C. Wyeth. The comments by Tom Brokaw are very well done. This book is so very well organized. It appeals to so many of the senses as well as the nostalgic emotions of the WW II generation, the Kennedy generation as well as bringing some of our earliest Presidents to life. Especially enjoyed the drawings of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
